Ancient Greek mythical characters
Baucis and Philemon (Latin: Baucis et Philēmōn) are two characters from Roman mythology, only known from Ovid's Metamorphoses. Baucis and Philemon were an old married couple in the region of Tyana, which Ovid places in Phrygia, and the only ones in their town to welcome disguised gods Jupiter and Mercury, thus embodying the pious exercise of hospitality, the ritualized guest-friendship termed hospitium.
